Successful interviews are results of completing pre-interview tasks, such as identifying the interviewee, doing research on the topic and interviewee, choosing a location or method for the interview, and developing a list of questions. This information will help build your confidence in interviewing, along with helping negotiate a difficult interview. While you are not required to conduct the interview and/or include the information in your draft and final project, preparing for the interview will enhance your knowledge about your chosen topic. I will find someone who has been involved in a similar idea. Since my idea is so original, I will find someone who is ideally associated with both school and volunteering in nursing homes.

I do have one person in mind: she used to be a principal, is well-liked by adolescents and has a degree in child development (specializing in adolescence). As he is a popular nurse in a local medical institution and highly involved in communal and volunteer activities. I can think of no one better than her to approach.

Questions that I will ask her will include feedback on my idea as well as the type of students whom she thinks should be involved and the type of adults whom she thinks they should be exposed to. The scheme may well backtrack with some students intentionally or otherwise harassing and insensitively treating some of the elderly occupants. It needs, therefore, to be a select typology of elderly person, and I will ask this interviewee for ideas.

Furthermore, nursing homes may quite likely be...

...

It is not only the school, parents, and students whom I will have to persuade but, far more intimidating, directors of nursing homes too. I will, therefore, ask this manager for connections and references as well as the best way to approach these homes.
I will ask her how to direct my program. It may well have to be started initially as a pilot program and may have to be observed in order to assess results of the program. It will also have to be evaluated on a regular schedule and may best start off with inclusion of only one or two students.

I will discuss each of these factors with the interviewee asking her, too, for further recommendations for success.

Part 2) In two or three well-developed paragraphs, summarize, assess, and reflect upon 3 secondary sources related to your big idea. At least one of these needs to present challenges and/or disagreements that you will have to acknowledge and address as you develop your argument. Compare and contrast the approaches these authors take towards this issue, and determine which sources will be helpful and why

Original though it sounds, this wouldn't be the first program to introduce such an idea. Intergenerational programs are on the rise across the country, providing a place for teenagers and senior citizens to come together to share talents, resources, and support. Stereotypes are dispelled, the teens find emotional support and welcome advice, and the seniors feel useful.

This program was first introduced by MetLife Foundation…

Outreach A community outreach initiative should be implemented in which high school students who have struggled with discipline will go to nursing homes to cook for and eat with elderly residents on a weekly basis. Students with discipline issues are targeted for this program because the program will aim to take them out of their troubled environments and give them both structure in their lives and positive interactions with the community.

I understand that there could be a veteran who could possibly need assistance at the time that I would be gone, but the Vet Center is a comfortable, welcoming place for them to wait out of the weather and the staff knows where I keep all of the food for those who might need it. Additionally, there is another service officer for those veterans who might need assistance with
